Always lock up your bike

UNSW is committed to a safe and connected campus for everyone. Bike theft can happen anytime, so always secure your bike and follow these tips to keep it safe:

• Use a ‘D’ shaped style hardened steel lock to secure your bike. Chain locks can be easily broken with tools.
• Secure your bike in a well-lit area on designated bike racks only. Do not leave your bike attached to railings at building entrances or chained to fire stairs.
• Do not leave your bike outside overnight or over the weekend.
• Keep details of your bike handy, including: make, model number, colour, serial number and a photo. This will make it easier to return a bike to its owner if it is recovered.
• If your bike is stolen, report it to Protective Services. Call 9385 6000 or visit the Security Office at Gate 2 on High Street (campus map).

Remember under NSW legislation, a bicycle is considered to be a vehicle. Cyclists are subject to the same road rules as other vehicles in NSW and must obey the laws on traffic signals and street signs. Failing to obey road or bicycle rules may result in a fine.

Together, we can keep UNSW safe, resilient and ready for everyone to thrive.
